Octal Number System
The octal number system, or base-8 system, uses
eight digits (0-7). Each position represents a power
of eight, offering a more compact representation
than binary while still being easily convertible to and
from binary.
Conversion
Convert each octal digit to its 3-bit binary equivalent.
Concatenation
Concatenate the resulting binary bits.
Decimal Equivalent
Convert the binary number to decimal.
S
Hexadecimal Number
System
The hexadecimal number system, or base-16
system, uses sixteen digits (0-9 and A-F), where
A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on.
Each position represents a power of sixteen,
making it useful for representing colours,
memory addresses, and other computer-related
data.
Ease of Conversion Compact Representation
More compact than binary
Easily converts to and from binary.
or octal for representing
large numbers.
Common in Programming
Widely used in programming and computer systems.
Conversions Between Number Systems
Converting between different number systems involves
understanding the place value system of each system and performing
mathematical operations to express a number in another base.
Decimal to Binary 1
Repeatedly divide the decimal
number by 2, noting the
remainders. 2 Binary to Decimal
Multiply each binary digit by
Decimal to Octal its corresponding power of 2
3 and sum the results.
Repeatedly divide the decimal
number by 8, noting the Octal to Decimal
remainders. 4
Multiply each octal digit by its
Decimal to Hexadecimal corresponding power of 8 and
5 sum the results.
Repeatedly divide the decimal
number by 16, noting the Hexadecimal to Decimal
remainders. 6
Multiply each hexadecimal
digit by its corresponding
power of 16 and sum the
results.
Arithmetic Operations in
Different Number Systems
Performing arithmetic operations (addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division) in different
number systems involves understanding the rules
and carry-over mechanisms specific to each base.
Addition Subtraction
Adding numbers in Subtracting numbers
different bases in different bases
involves understanding involves borrowing
the carry-over rules. from higher place
values.
Multiplication Division
Multiplying numbers in Dividing numbers in
different bases follows different bases
the same principles as requires understanding
in decimal. the place values.
Applications of Number Systems
Number systems have various applications in computer science,
engineering, and other fields, allowing us to represent and manipulate
data efficiently.
